I actually didn't know this place existed until I saw it on the app Too Good To Go. I've had Ding Tea before and Mochinut as well, but this was the first time having it in Florida! The plaza it's in is a bit small, but it's on a non busy local street. I came by around 8:45 to pick up mochi donuts. I definitely should have came earlier because I did want to get a drink but it was so close to closing that I didn't want to bother the workers more. As I walked in the employees were already cleaned up and ready for close. Everything was clean and most items were already put away, but they had my order of mochinuts already ready which was awesome. I got 2 matcha, 2 churro, 1 glazed and one strawberry glazed. I was pleasantly surprised on the texture on all of them. Usually when it comes to closing the mochi nuts are a little stale. I was also nervous they'd be oily but they were great! Perfect texture. Chewy and not too sweet. Every mochi donut has the plain batter used to fry then has its own flavored glaze. Strawberry and plain glazed were my favorite. It gave the perfect amount of sweet that I needed. Churro could have had a bit more sugar on it for me and the matcha tasted exactly as it should. If you like your matcha flavor on the stronger side, this is the donut for you. Overall it was a good experience. I'll be sure to come back to try the cheese corn dogs and the boba. I have high hopes! read more

Wanted a nice refresher and some sweets to end our day after eating and this is right by my in laws place as we were visiting during the holidays. I enjoy eating Mochi donuts and everytime I try them at a new spot, I always compare to the best ones I've had, in my opinion. We got the chocolate, strawberry and matcha. The consistency and the texture was nice and chewy, but I'm not sure how fresh these were. The frosting, I was not a fan of. I'd prefer more of a glaze as these were messy to eat as the glaze is not hardened. The boba drinks were good though. read more

I've had a few different bobas in Pinellas county and I think this is my favorite so far. The store is fairly large and they also serve mochinut. The staff were all mostly kids but they got our orders on point. The ambiance was really nice as well. Great lighting and they have a few board games available too. The boba was by the best I've had so far in Pinellas county. I got the hazelnut milk tea with crystal boba and wifey got the taro milk tea with crystal boba. Both 50% sugar. I liked the taro boba a lot more than the hazelnut but both were incredibly refreshing. The taste was on point too. Not too sweet but just sweet enough. I would recommend you try this establishment if you're a fan of good boba. read more

Very good boba place! I've been to Ding Tea in CA and HI before. I'm glad they opened one here in Pinellas County! I always get their Taro Milk tea and Wintermelon milk tea. The interior can be a little better. A lot of kids working, so this place kinda lacks good customer service. They also have the mochinut area. I've had mochinut alot of times back in CA, they're really good and can be addicting! Overall this place is good, boba is good! read more

"The staff are so rude for no reason" I had written this in a draft from two years ago and never sent it. I figured ok it's been awhile let me go back because mochi donuts ARE good but no the stuff are still rude and unhelpful. The place is gross, bathroom is dirty, seating is sparse (also dirty), and somehow someone always has the most aggressive cough. On the counter where they serve food is littered with trash and old drinks. I've NEVER written a bad review but this place is apparently begging for one. read more

I am a huge Ding Tea fan! I have visited a few different locations, and the drinks are always consistently good. My favorite order from Ding Tea is the mango green tea with aloe Vera jelly. Also love their tiger milk & brown sugar milk tea with boba! The boba is always well-made and the perfect consistency. The only reason I knocked this specific location down a star is because they have the most unfriendly employees. The employees seem upset to even take your order. For a boba shop, I guess it doesn't matter too much how friendly the employees are because you interact with them for like 2 minutes, but it would be really nice if within those 2 minutes they were at least a little friendlier. read more

Ding Ding Ding!!! Round One of best boba is over and we have a winner: DING TEA of Pinellas!! In complete seriousness, this is some of the best ding boba tea I've ever had. I thought they had a decent sized menu, and you know it's truly authentic as soon as you walk in the shop. It was one of my dad's very first times trying boba, and when you are first figuring out what all the dings on the menu mean- different kind of bobas, all the tea flavors, blended or milk tea or sweetness it can be really confusing. So, my dad being my dad, he just told the cashier he has no idea what he's doing. She took this all in stride and kindly explained the menu to my dingaling father. I liked that at Ding Tea they ask you if you want to adjust your sweetness in your drink, and there's literally a chart that has the different levels. I'd say for anyone who doesn't want it teeth achingly sweet to do half sweetness. My taro milk tea was the best ding thing since sliced bread. The boba was soft and chewy and had a slight brown sugar taste just like how they should. Half sweetness was absolutely perfect, I can't imagine having any more than it did. It was so amazing I was sad when I finished it, I just wanted more and more. Seriously couldn't more highly recommend. Too many ding puns in one review? I didn't ding so... Go try Ding Tea if you can! read more

This Ding Tea location is better than the one in the Tampa Water Avenue. The tea is more flavorful. Milk tea taste good with the cream milk especially for laxative intolerant people. I got the the Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba. The boba here is not the brown sugar chewy boba. It is more like the jello type. It is still good but I prefer chewing type. They do have choices for ice level. You can ask for less ice. The sugar level also can be requested. The flexibility make them attractive. Overall it is good above average drink. read more

As my pursuit of the perfect Boba tea spot continues, I made a trip out to Ding tea. What an adorable spot, I noticed the decor looked slightly different in every photo and was different than what I'd seen on Yelp as the gray wall seems to change its theme but still cute. I came for the wings, for a perfect shot but walked away with some delicous hazelnut Boba! The flavor of the hazelnut tea was fantastic but I made the mistake or experimenting for the first time by getting coffee jelly instead of Boba and have quickly realized I'm not a big jelly fan :/. Thats not to say I won't be back to experiment some more as the base tea was fantastic and there are so very many flavors to try out still. Also, the option of add ons has a good variety too. As for seating there is plenty of indoor seating and really nice lighting for a quick sit down with some tea. All in all good experience, definitely check it out it you're a Boba fan! read more

When we arrived 20 minutes before they closed they did not tell us about what they were out of and they messed up all our orders and the lady behind the counter was extremely rude and in the lady's words exactly "well you should not have come so late". Just a note to anyone who wants to get boba. service sucks and boba sucks this place does not deserve to be open and they should be ashamed of themselves. DO NOT COME HERE! read more

Neat place. Friends brought me here never had this experience before something totally new I was excited. Little overwhelmed trying to fig out what to order.

Got 3 donuts yum, 2 pink 1 green so tasty. Def worth a try. Staff was friendly and patient letting me fig things out and helped explain things. Super happy about that, thanks guys.

The first thing I noticed about Ding Tea is that it smells like the most heavenly room full of vanilla spiced marshmallow cupcake sugar plum candles from Bath and Body Works. The next thing I noticed is how pristinely clean the space was. And lastly I am glad to reflect that the 2 young people working were extremely friendly, upbeat, and efficient. I got a Thai Tea and added boba, it took all of 45 seconds for the young man to whip up. It's a pricey treat at over $6 for 1 drink. But it is just that - a treat. The space is clean and welcoming a little too dark for me to consider being a spot to get work done, personally. However there are plenty of tables and there is free wifi. So if you're looking for a spot to "cave out" this could be it. There are not outlets though, so come charged. read more

I was more than excited to see there was a Ding Tea in Florida. Not the closest to me, but I found myself up this way for work so I made sure I stopped by. The first Ding Tea I ever had was when I was in Las Vegas, to my surprise here I am at another location in Pinellas. The location looked pretty much just like their Vegas one so I assume it's at least a small chain? My favorite, and only thing I get here is their taro milk tea with boba. I love that purple drink. I cannot explain to you the actual flavor, but I just know I love it. Something about it is so refreshing. The color is fun too as it's bright purple. There are tons of boba (for an upcharge) added to the drink if you'd like. You can monitor the ice as well as the sweetness. I typically d 30% ice and 30% sweet because if not I find it to be filled with too much ice and gets too watery and it becomes VERY sweet. I need to take a some road trips now that I know Ding Tea is (somewhat) in the area. read more

Hands down the BEST bubble tea in the Tampa Bay area. Ding Tea has huge cups for reasonably low prices. They are famous for their tiger milk tea, but I prefer a flavored black tea and their Yakult. My favorite drink to order is the Lychee Yakult with boba pearls. I also love places that let you choose your sugar levels because I don't like overly sweet drinks. The seating area is spacious and comfortable. The tables seat 2-3 people. There is a couch area but the couches are very low so your knees will come up over your lap, it's kind of awkward. They provide games for entertainment, but there is no wifi. I am on my way to completing their frequent buyer card. I highly recommend Ding Tea if you're craving boba, and I'm excited for their Tampa store to open soon! read more

I think Ding Tea is Royalty because this is the KING TEA I tried another Boba but it didn't have that ZING TEA It's the kind of place to which all my friends I would BRING TEA Best service and best Boba is always here at DING TEA I don't love your mother, it was just a casual FLING TEA I don't love your father, it's not my fault he's so CLING-Y I'm a free love kinda boba drinker, so I SWING TEA But if you want some Boba I say get Boba at DING TEA If you can't spell Drink then come here and enjoy a DRING TEA If a girl climbs out of your TV you watched the RING TEA If you prefer some Szechuan Chicken, then go to CHONGQING TEA But if you want some Golden Boba, get on down to DING TEA If you're from near Buffalo then instead go to WING TEA If I'm in the bathroom when you order, I might SING TEA If you're in the bathroom with me, I'll show you my THING TEA But if you want a perfect Boba get on down to DING TEA WHAT What to get: Brown Sugar Milk Tea What not to get: Caught with your Dingleberries out Tampa has quite a few good Boba shops and I'm a big fan of this one. A couple of Tampa Boba spots are really amazing and then a couple are good with a few issues and then some are bad. This is one of the good ones with a few issues. For example they gave me a stamp card but only stamped it for the two drinks that I just bought rather than the drink that I bought earlier. They don't have any small sizes (although most Dings do) and they ran out of boba and some other products - probably cuz they only opened recently. The guys here are pretty friendly and I'm pretty sure that some of the people in the store recognized me. They had a little bit of a problem changing a 50 but they did it for me which I really appreciate it cuz a lot of boba shops won't to do that. They did act like it was putting them out though, so they could have been friendlier about it. Their milk teas are special and exemplary especially the brown sugar milk tea and some of their fruit teas such as the strawberry are excellent especially with less sugar. The real highlight of their menu is the golden Boba which is a lot better than most Boba you may have had before and is also exceptionally durable in a kind of weird way, because it will last and still be good when other Boba won't be. I'll give them 5 because they have some of the better products in town, but the Ding Teas in Sugar Land and Bellaire Chinatown (Houston) and near Arlington Grand Prairie (Dallas) are superior in my opinion. However this was my first ever Ding, and I'll give it a 5. Now for more rapping. If I was a Klingon I would rather go to KLING TEA Or if I was Merciless I'd rather go to MING TEA Or if I was Indian then I might go to SINGH TEA But I'm none of those 3 things so I just come to DING TEA If I broke my arm then I would come here with a SLING TEA If I was on mIRC I'd know how to PING TEA When I'm in Nevada I might see Carmella BING TEA But when I'm in Houston I come straight on down to DING TEA If you have to let it Linger come on down to LING TEA If you love to eat dem pringles bring them down to PRING TEA If you are a gringo then instead just go to GRING TEA But if you're 75% Boba then come to DING TEA If you're Wayne and Garth then instead you should go to SCHWING TEA If your day hinges upon good boba, go to HING TEA And if you are Jamaican or Barbadan, here's the TING TEA You must come and try delicious Boba here at DING TEA WHAT read more

Was craving good quality boba and decided To try out Ding Tea. Although very far for us we were determined. I got the tiger boba and bf got the fruit tea. Tiger boba is essentially milk with boba soaked in brown sugar. When shaken the milk is flavored by the sugar and boba. There's essentially no flavoring or a milk tea. I got mine half sweet and thank goodness i did - It was sooo sweet and the milk tasted like a caramel milk latte. It was good but nothing great? I had it previously in Toronto and it was much better there.. The fruit tea was good but again we got it half sweet... and it was sugar overload. Grass jelly was good and the boba was a good texture. read more

Ding Tea saved me from all the terrible powdered tea mix "smoothie" shops in my neck of the woods. Yeah, I'm sure that Ding has some powder in their pantry too, but they also use actual tea. This is a Taiwanese tea chain that is operated by local Vietnamese speaking residents. The shop is trendy and updated, so I don't feel bad ordering a few teas and sitting here talking for hours. The plaza location is well maintained and there is plenty of parking. I have so far liked all of their teas, unless the odd tea is made that is too sweet. You can only get Golden Boba here, regular Black Boba is only available in their Monster Boba Latte. My favorites are, in order: 1. Classic Milk Tea with Golden Boba 2. Grapefruit Yogurt Tea 3. Kumquat Lime Tea Yes, they are one of the original shops in the entire Tampa Bay area to offer the popular Taiwanese drink known as Tiger Milk Tea. However, at Ding it is known as Monster Boba Latte. Tiger Milk Tea is basically lactose free milk with stripes of brown sugar syrup striped along the sides of the cup to give a tiger stripe appearance. It tastes like what it is, milk sweetened with brown sugar syrup. Not one of my favorite drinks, but I am grateful that the trend has made it from Taiwan to Tampa. This is the only drink at Ding that you can order with black boba, and also the only drink that you can get in the cute little chubby cup. Sometimes, you will see customers eating Banh Mi out front that they purchased from one of the shops down on 49th Street. This is telling me that there should be not only more food options in this plaza, but specifically a sandwich and snack shop would be nice to go along with the tea. If you are in the St Petersburg area and have not tried Ding, then you have not actually tried bubble tea. read more

I keep coming amd coming to this place. I like signature milk tea and taro milk tea here. The bobe is suer chewy is a plus +. They have a stamp card by 10 get 1 free too which make me coming back again and again. The vibe is great, music is soft and sometime they put a table chair outside to sit and chill. read more

Since I am the huge Bubble Tea fan from Atlanta, you know I gotta hit up the closest bubble tea spot. So I was excited as heck when I found out that they had a Ding Tea in town!!! Who hoo!!! Lol This spot is alittle older than what I am used to in Ga, but who cares when it's Ding Tea. Service was super fast and not a huge line of people like in GA. I ordered the Kiwi Green Tea with aloe Vera and crystal boba. It tasted awesome!! I am really thinking that I need to buy a few more and put it in the cooler for the beach tomorrow! Employees were friendly and super fast. Locations closes at 10pm so you got time. I wish it closed later like at midnight. Lol. I highly recommend this place if your in town or a local. Since there is no Kung Fu Tea, Sweet Hut, and Share Tea, this place has to be the best Asian bubble tea in the area hands down. read more

It was my first time here since I was craving Asian tea. This is a chain from Taiwan so I was expecting the workers to speak Chinese so it would be easier to ask what I was trying to order. But sadly, it was Vietnamese people working there. But regardless, I ordered the passion fruit green tea with grass jelly with half the amount of sugar. It tasted really good and reminded me of an authentic drink from Taiwan, NYC or LA. read more

Ding Tea Pinellas - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

This is hands down the best boba shop in Pinellas Park and St. Pete. Although I don't like a few flavors due to personal preference, most of the drinks here are much better tasting than any other boba place i've been to in St. Pete. No matter what I always find myself ordering at Ding Tea when it comes to milk tea or boba. To start, their drinks are very reasonably priced (averaging $5-6) with a wide variety of options, ranging from fruit juice to milk tea to slush, anything you could want from a boba shop is here. They also have a plethora of toppings, with many types of boba alongside others like egg pudding and rainbow jelly. My personal all time favorite is a blueberry yogurt slush with golden boba. I love the flavor in the blueberry and this drink barely makes it to the car. Another favorite of mine is a Thai Tea Slush with golden boba, great Thai Tea flavor compared to most other places around here. Finally, anything Lychee has always been great from here. The workers are also super friendly and speak fluent Vietnamese if needed. They also just redid the interior and it looks great! I could not have any better words for this place and it is a MUST try for anyone looking for boba anywhere in pinellas county. read more

Great boba tea. This is the sister Ding Tea location to the Ding Tea on Fowler in Tampa (not the one on Waters, which is run by a different franchise). I think it's older because it's not quite as fancy dancy as its Tampa sister, but it seemed clean and nice. I really enjoy Ding Tea. I also love that they will work with you to get the best tea. My son loves the kiwi slush that we can get on the menu at the Ding Tea on Waters. It's not on the menu at this location, but they'll make if you ask. My husband and daughter love the strawberry slush (all 25% sweet). My daughter and I love the crystal boba as our topping, although the sea cream topping is my go-to when I'm trying to reduce my carb intake. There's plenty of parking in this mini-mall. read more

Was hoping the boba teas were tasty as most had reviewed but honestly, I ordered the Lychee Yakault and the Tiger Boba and while both were ok, nothing really stood out for me and my mom. My mom thought the Lychee Yakault would have been better had it been a thick consistency (smoothie-like) and I thought that the Tiger Boba tasted just like a caramel syrup mixed with milk. After a few sips of the Tiger Boba, I felt that it was too sweet for my liking so I ended up not finishing it. I recommend to others to take advantage of adjusting the sweetness level of your boba just incase you're not a fan of overly-sweet drinks. read more

The Monster Bobo is the closest I've come to finding anything like the Half and Half in Los Angeles. I got the large, added egg custard, regular sugar and regular ice. I didn't find it to be too sweet. It was really good. I also tried my husband's milk tea with golden boba, no sugar, less ice and it was spot on. The boba is a great consistency - chewy, not hard. I can't decide if I like the black or golden boba better. We're staying on St. Pete beach and I'd drive back out there to get boba before we leave. read more

I like this place. The drinks I have had are not too sweet. Love the honey boba. Plenty of seating available. Clean bathroom (very important! lol). Friendly, fast service. I'm used to waiting a really long time at other boba shops for my drinks, but Ding Tea has been consistently fast with my orders each time I have been. So many flavor combos to try. Tons of options. Have not tried their Monster Boba yet, they seem to be out of that every time I've been in. So far I have had their signature milk tea, the Thai tea, and the taro boba, lychee, and passionfruit. All were good in my opinion. Not too sweet. read more

Ding Tea Pinellas - Bubble Tea Near Me - Pinellas Park, Florida

I've been to many of the local boba and tea establishments and I feel their drinks are fresh . Although I had to wait 10 minutes for 2 drinks , it was made carefully. The Hokkaido black milk tea with golden boba , half sweet was 5/5 . Not too sweet , boba consistency was just right not too hard not too soft. A lot of time milk teas have a lot of creamer , this one you can actually taste the tea itself. Honey green tea with grass jelly 5/5. They ran out of Monster bobo latte ; lychee and aloe vera jelly that day. So I was a little irritated upon ordering , but no complaints as it tickled all my taste buds . There was only one size , with the monster bobo being large . Two drinks is about $11. Must try if your in the area. read more

I ordered three drinks - the monster boba latte (delicious and not too sweet), honey black tea and jasmine milk tea. I loved them all!!! I was surprised how mild yet tasty all of the drinks were and the cashier was very nice and speedy. Update: I've been a regular up until now. The last few times the staff not necessarily the cashier have been talking about the customers. This one instance which I believe impacted my drink is the knock from 5 stars to 2 stars. The lady before me placed her order, paid and then asked for zero ice. I get it she should have been charged more but it's not professional to slander people out loud, after they leave and in front of others. My black honey tea was about 75% ice while my milk jasmine tea was about 60% ice so the staff clearly made up for it at my expense. I didn't bother saying anything and have decided not to come back as often. I'll be back...maybe, but very not every week. read more
